We're working on the judging process at the moment and an element of crowd-sourcing is definitely on the agenda for inclusion. We need to think through the mechanics of this and the normal constraints of propriety etc. but I am confident that we will be able to find a way to make this work. Will announce this on the PoI blog when settled. Richard Allan PoI Task Force Chair Thanks for the suggestion, Justin.

I think the best way is to use the peer-to-patent approach. Let people make the first selection of a shortlist, and the let government do the final decision. see http://peertopatent.org/ Hi.

Good idea. Was wondering how they would judge such a large number entries but that is a great thought. Oh, I LIKE that. Good idea.
